Code of Conduct

  • Learn and play by the official rules of pickleball as set out by USAPA and supported by Pickleball Canada and Pickleball Alberta.
  • Display good sportsmanship and encourage others to do so.
  • Demonstrate the values of respect, fairness, integrity, honesty and transparency.
  • Do not engage in any behaviour that would endanger the health, safety or well-being of others.
  • Under no circumstances should any member display any behaviour or action that constitutes harassment, where harassment is defined as a comment or conduct directed towards an individual or group, which is offensive, abusive, racist, sexist, degrading or malicious.
  • Under no circumstances should any members use profanity or inappropriate gestures during or after play on the courts.
  • Always strive to make correct line calls, but remember that if there is any doubt, you should call the ball “in”.
  • Always stop play whenever an unsafe situation arises, such as a stray ball, rain on the courts or a player becomes injured.

Failure to abide by this Code of Conduct may result in disciplinary action by the CPC Executive as outlined by the Coaldale Pickleball Association Bylaws.
